INTERNAL AUDIT AND REVIEW
Internal Audit and Review (IA&R) professionals work behind the scenes to strengthen corporate governance. This fiscal year, the IA&R Division provided independent objective assurance, advice and consultancy support to the NPP Board of Directors, Environmental Chiefs of Staff, Base/Wing Commanders and the CFPSA, through a series of 37 projects, reviews, and internal audits.
In addition to assurance and consultancy services, VP IA&R is responsible for the implementation of the NPP Ethics Policy. This policy offers a reporting mechanism for NPF staff to present possible ethics violations, without fear of reprisal. IA&R reviews/investigates all issues reported, and responds appropriately. Work is underway to integrate awareness of Ethics beyond the issuance of this policy.
The CFPSA Internal Audit & Review Charter governs the functions performed by the IA&R Division auditors. It is the authoritative document that details the Mission, Scope, Authorization and Responsibilities for IA&R coverage, in support of the NPP Board of Directors. This document underwent a comprehensive revision this past year, ensuring that it continues to be fully compliant with the Standards for Internal Auditing developed by the Institute of Internal Auditors.
The division issued 25 IA&R Reports wherein auditors proposed solution-oriented recommendations aimed at improving efficiency, effectiveness, and economy across a broad range of NPP operations at all levels – locally and nationally.
IA&R provided support to Deployed Operations, Base Funds, Special Interest Clubs, HR Management, Finance and Administration, and developed and facilitated an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) for CFPSA senior managers.
